Tau kē! I stumbled across this video today, and she's definitely awesome and inspiring for someone like me - I'm Korean and I just started learning te reo at uni this year. It's honestly so much fun. I can only hope that more people (tauiwi like me included!) jump on board. If not us, then who? And if not here in Aotearoa, then where, right?? :)
She understands it's more than just a language, it's the wairua which Maori are in short supply of without the language, which lead so many down the wrong path. To deny the teaching of Te Reo is to deny the necessity for Maori existence.
She's been in the country for a year and pronounces better than 99% of paheha kiwi who have been here 200 years LOL how embarrassing. Paheha cant eveñ say kia ora right they are very lazy.
I would agree with bob bob to some extent, however he did go off a bit on a rant. However the issue of having mandatory teaching of a language like te reo in schools is a complex one. You can't really force it onto anyone when the language itself does not benefit you greatly in most of society. Believe I think it is greatly beneficial when it comes to Māoridom itself and New Zealand heritage and culture, but it wouldn't benefit you within other societies. I not saying that it should not be encouraged, I'm all for more teaching of te reo, however to have it be mandatory when it will not give you skills that you will need for future jobs I can't agree with. Plus we all know what making things mandatory can do to us, I wasn't good at maths and absolutely hated it.
@@kiritawhai7488 that is the most elitist thing I've ever fucking heard which mitigates the work of colonization, racist structural systems as well as ignores the hard work of young maori people today that are working hard to keep it alive. You win no points today.
Good for you dude! white kiwis(paheha) are very lazy they cant even pronounce place names in nz and they been in nz for 200 years. Yet every other foreigner embraces the culture when they visit and can pronounce better than paheha.
I am still mourning the wide spread loss of our peoples native tongue.2 generations before me no te reo spoken.the chain was broken...so sad.not just my fathers side,but my mothers too.
the language does sound similar, now i understand why i see a lot of japanese people in new zealand than australia lol. this is so interesting. also new zealand looks a bit like japan, the geographical shape of the country
It is, Was my First language while growing up, unfortunately during my time of schooling,it was beaten out of us if spoken on the school's ground's,But at college we had German Latin Greek Spanish as a choice subject,no Maori,even up to the 70s NZ fround apon the language,yes even Maori wouldn't speak it, Glad its slowly coming back,but still there's,non Maori,opposed to it,
To be honest, if I wouldn’t listening carefully I would’ve just thought that she’s speaking Japanese. This just shows that Maori and Japanese sounds so similar, in terms of phonetics.
Kai te aha ia inaianei. kua hoki atu ia ki Nipono? Hai te Whiringa a Nuku ka haere ko au me öku hoa ki Nipono.彼女は今何をしているのですか。 彼女はどこですか。 彼女は日本へ行ってできましたか? 私は日本に10月3日から18日まで。 それは楽しみです
+Jon Luke i could name heaps of language similarities since im part maori but theres too many to mention. anyways maoris are scientifically proven to come from taiwan. end of story.
Mythic Dawn And it has been two years, since your post and Sweden is still dying, because of their inaction. They had a bombathon where there were at least 13 bombs went off in 25 days. The mainstream media did not report it. Your post was just listing truth of common sense and reason.
great! I applaud her effort! Now sensing that whilst learning our reo, she sensed our focus which includes kaupapa mana motuhake ... i challenge this wahine toa to go BACK to her home country Japan and go make right, what her people have done to the indigenous Japanese, the AINU who are in a world of shit thanks to Japanese domination. That will be the true wairua of her hard work here... You will always have a home here, but your MAHI is waiting for you back ki roto i Tiapana! Kia Ora!
Lol how is that her responsibility alone? Ridiculous! It's like saying every German person is responsible for Holocaust, or every English, and American person should be held responsible for slavery, genocide, and colonialism. Not logical.
Gille87 Its NOT her responsibility ALONE. Nor did I say it was. But if she was to take anything away from her experience it would be to make an exerted effort to uphold the mana of the people who are the MANA WHENUA of the land her ancestors have settled on. And part of that would mean taking the effort she has spent and redirecting it towards helping out their own. NO where did i make a reference to GENOCIDE or HOLOCAUST. You did though. This is different. AND while I welcome her to learning our stuff... could be better if she now goes helps the ainu in Japan out.
이무영 yes, they do exist... although largely harmed by the major colonisation of their lands... they DO EXIST and deserve to be recognised as the indigenous people
That moment when your a Māori yourself but a Japanese woman can speak Māori better than you, ahaha I can’t even speak my own language (fluently). I am ashamed of myself. Note to self: KIA KAHA WAHINE LOL
Glad to see efforts made by Japanese to learn Maori language. Maoris may be descendants of Hindus of India. We must encourage celebration of festivals together and give them love and respect they need. My love to Maoris. Thanks for posting this video
Her pronunciation...dayum
is same pronunciation as japanese. when i came to new zealand i think maori sound the same lol. im half maori bt is not japanese. hahaha
@@곰애기-e5f Yes, the vowels are similar as are many of the consonants.
It's much easier when your native language is so similar in phonology and prosody. Lots of phrases in Maori sound like Japanese.

Mandarinen Zeit (귤TV) I’m so glad you’re learning my language, because I’m also learning 한국어 ! Exchanging languages!! 😏
I love hearing stories about international visitors learning and speaking te reo Māori.
Damn..... Maori is still on the list to learn. Good on her for embracing another language and becoming fluent in it. Well done girl.
she speaks more maori then me
Now we can have anime translated into Maori!!!
Why not? Learn languages, and Your own language first! I speak 5 languages, would like to speak more....
But I suggest to use subtitles! It helps learning languages . Reallly! No Dub!
Or we could just make our own? We have enough stories to back it up.
We had a exchange student from Japan stay with us and found she could pick up Maori a lot faster than she could speak english.
Maori vowels are the same as Japanese. We could probably pick up Japanese as well
Maori and Japonic are both Asiatic languages. Both people come from the Asian continent thousands of years ago.

@@pube66 Japanese is similar in sound and phrasing to whereas English is definitely not. She has an advantage.
I am learning Māori also :)
Kia Ora Kia
Well I'm not from nz but I started to take Maori language courses at Massey uni
Good for you dude! white kiwis(paheha) are very lazy they cant even pronounce place names in nz and they been in nz for 200 years. Yet every other foreigner embraces the culture when they visit and can pronounce better than paheha.
thank you for being such an awesome inspiration kia kaha Cuzzie
It’s not surprising that she can nail the pronunciation. I find that Japanese sounds similar to te reo.
I am still mourning the wide spread loss of our peoples native tongue.2 generations before me no te reo spoken.the chain was broken...so sad.not just my fathers side,but my mothers too.
aww u go girl! your reo is better than mine 😂 I gotta finish my studies, so beautiful to see other nationalities embracing our reo and culture ❤️

I’m following her footsteps; Mexican American learning Maori.
Kia ora rawiri let's practice no hea koe ?
He whakatauki tino motuhake tena, a, e pai rawa ana hok ki te kite i tetahi tauira no tawahi ki te ako i to tatou reo me ona tikanga. Ka mau te wehi!

何言ってるかさっぱり分からんが、この子すげえ。
Damn she's good.
Tau kē te wahine Hapanihi nei! He tauira hei whai mā ētahi o tātou te iwi Māori.
My brother learnt Japanese at school and apparently the vowel sounds in Maori and Japanese are the same
Excellent!!
Thats awesome great to see.
Beautiful just beautiful
To be honest, if I wouldn’t listening carefully I would’ve just thought that she’s speaking Japanese. This just shows that Maori and Japanese sounds so similar, in terms of phonetics.
her reo is awesome, better then mine and im maori, shame i better get to some classes aye
Me too 🤦
or tounge of the language is similar
wow thats awesome, a japanese person speaking maori.
We used to live next door to an old Japanese lady, my Mum could understand the old lady when she spoke Japanese, she said it was very similar to Maori
I've heard that to
Brilliant brilliant...
I Maori and I can’t even speak most of it proud of her!!💗💗
I see the sense here Japanese has that inherent stuttering cadence like Maori.. it’s the Polynesian influence
Listening to these reports in Māori, it sounds remarkably similar to Japanese. Was there a breakaway historically?
awesome.
It appears that the government actually supports the use of the mative language across the ocean, eh?
Absolutely beautiful reo wow I'm so impressed Ka pai to her
Wow no words
